Originally posted by Red NightI meant the books. He told me the names of some books in his forum posts, when in a previous game I told him I wanted to become a propulsions and aerospace engineer.
Never heard about these.
Why didn't you tell me in our games???...
He never told me about the books, he told me about the maths.

Calculus be damned, this guy isn't talking about becoming an engineer and designing advanced complex circuits, he just wants a simple breadboard to throw a few components together. Jebus.
That's where we got it, after Adam Warlock read my profile.
Yes, I do want to have a few breadboards to build some beginning circuitry, but my profile gives me much bigger dreams than just breadboards...
Edit: and adam, I did look up the Feynman lectures, and I can get them for about 60 dollars for the whole set of 3. If that's a bit pricey, tell me.
Originally posted by EinsteinMinddo you think you could get access to a colledge library? text books are pricey (£40) but library books at my uni are yours until either the end of term or they are recalled by someone (unless they are short loan, but you needent look at them).
I love maths. I already am far ahead of where I should be on a standard of the calculus class. 😉 😀 😏
As for the college textbooks,
I have a college bookstore about 15 minutes from my house. After I get the money required, I should be able to spend it on a textbook or two. 😴

Text books may be pricey but I could read them ahead of time (seeing as I'm a senior in high school, I need to get started a bit earlier so I can be a bit ahead of the game). Heck, I just found a calculus textbook on the internet. And it sounds interesting too.

Originally posted by EinsteinMindI think you should first read the books and see if they're your style. What I normally do is download the books and if I do like them I buy them. If I don't I just erase the books. But I think that 20 $ for each Feynman book is a bargain.

Originally posted by EinsteinMindwhat i was meaning was you could perhaps get in contact with someone at your local college, or get your school to contact them, so that you can use their library. i had one when i was doing advanced history at school. not that i used it...

I know, I'm deprived...😵
and thanks, AW (can I call you AW?). Glad to know I'm getting a good deal.
Originally posted by EinsteinMindit may not, but you can but ask. even if nothing is in place already your teachers may know of some ways to get hold of such books. have you looked in your local public library?
